I'm just wondering how often people get their shit together and make a move so to speak. Two of my friends have set up a furniture business with an initial investment of 50,000 euro. i am in awe of them, sludge boy here hasn't taken a risk since I tried a new flavour of koka noodles.

When was the last time you took a big risk? as the man said it's better to risk everything than to risk nothing at all.

Did you ever get the feeling as you get older that six bland months of automatic living can pass by painlessly, yet in a way be more of a loss in the long run than if those months were filled even with sorrow?

Am I talking shite?

Just sometimes you get that feeling that it is too easy to let things slide by without actively living._________________www.myspace.com/storkboychoons

Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done"

Have to say that i though 'Atomised' was one of the most over-rated, over-hyped books i've ever read!

Glad you are getting something from it; but i thought it a cynical waste of time... (I mean i like cynicism, as a rule, but not this time!)_________________Scattershot Writing: www.jameseverington.blogspot.com

I can't remember, I generally don't like taking risks, cos I don't care too much about the highs anyway...you need motivation to risk things don't you? For the moment I feel quite content.

Actually, I did take a small risk, I took my current job even though it wasn't really clear how good it'd be. But it turned out to be a good risk and one I'm insanely grateful for now that unemployement is rising.

"Seems the more you learn the less you know...this could take forever..."-ned's atomic dustibin

I'm not big on risks myself...never liked being a loser, so I stray away from competition. In reality, the only loser is someone who doens't gain and better themselves from experience. In any case, I've been studying for three years in Broadfield Social Science (phsychology, philosophy, sociology, and economics) and just last semester swapped to a Communication major. Best decision. Keeping the old stuff, but with a new perspective i can re-examine everything I learned...
strange, as i write this, realized no one really cares whether I switched majors or that I listen to Ned's Atomic dustbin, I have the ability to say anything in the world, and I offer no really useful information...enuf of that then!
LIVE< BREAKING NEWS: did you know that human's actually live a 25 hour a day cycle? If there were no clocks, we'd go to bed an hour later every night (10 pm, 11pm, 12am, etc). Hence explains why on some occasions you're feeling tops in the wee hours i n the morning, and other times when yer draggin at 3pm.
